Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds will be donning the costume in the role of the comic book hero the Green Lantern.
Production on the major motion picture, based on the DC Comics title, is slated to begin in January 2010, according to Hollywood trade paper Variety.
Reynolds — currently onscreen in the romantic comedy The Proposal starring Sandra Bullock — had been in the running along with actors Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto.
The 32-year-old Vancouverite has had a stellar year so far: The Proposal hit the $100-million box office mark this week, and Reynolds got a spinoff movie of his own after his turn as the assassin Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Reynolds's previous movies include Blade: Trinity, Smoking Aces, Adventureland and Definitely, Maybe.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - After an intense months-long search, Warner Bros. has chosen Ryan Reynolds to play the title character in "Green Lantern," the studio's live-action movie based on the DC Comics hero.
Reynolds and his representatives entered negotiations for the part Friday, after the studio held two rounds of screen tests for the actor, Bradley Cooper and Jared Leto. Justin Timberlake also did a screen test.
The film is being directed by Martin Campbell and produced by Donald De Line and Greg Berlanti.
One reason for the lengthy search process was that De Line, Campbell and the studio each had a different favorite among the finalists, making it difficult to come to a consensus.
If the deal is completed, it would make Reynolds the only actor to have played heroes for both Marvel and DC. He recently starred in a comic-book movie, 20th Century Fox's "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," in which he played Deadpool, also known as the Merc with a Mouth. The character is being developed for a spin-off in which Reynolds will star. He also played Marvel's vampire hunter Hannibal King in "Blade: Trinity."
"Lantern" is Reynolds second stab at a DC Comics hero. A few years ago, he was attached to play the comic company's speedster "The Flash."
